data breaches and cyberattacks. >> there's always an assumed risk with everything that we do online, and that risk is that some of our personal information could be then used for some sort of nefarious purpose. >> reporter: sewart suggests a tech reset of sorts. use an internet-based phone service like google voice to avoid sharing your personal cell number and create a secondary e-mail for transactions to protect the account you use for personal e-mail. consider the backup accounts disposable if they are compromised. >> i kind of call it a throwaway e-mail. >> reporter: as lawrence learned, it's unlikely you'll stop every unwanted message, but you can try to filter out texts like you do with e-mail spam. in your iphone settings tap messages and scroll down to turn on filter unknown senders. in your android google messages app go to messages settings. scroll down to spam protection and enable it. and experts say when you get unexpected messages don't engage. it's best to use your phone's option to block and report them. that's what jirah lawrence did

as she tries to block out this experience. >> it's annoying. and i really hope people find out who did it. i've been trying to just be mindful, especially online. >> reporter: to do that the fbi needs your help. it's asking anyone who's received one of these racist messages to report it to local messages to report it to local law (♪♪) (♪♪) bounce back fast from heartburn with tums gummy bites, and love food back.

thanksgiving is now just nine days away, and if you're planning to travel get ready for packed planes and busy roadways. aaa expects the thanksgiving travel season will be a record breaker with nearly 80 million americans expected to travel 50 miles or more. cbs's kris van cleave has more on what to expect. >> reporter: brendan lane will behitting the road to see family this thanksgiving. >> it's always been a great tradition to go up to northern new york city and spend some big time in the big apple and also spend time with family as well. >> reporter: and he won't be alone. aaa expects nearly 72 million will drive 50 miles or more, a record high up from last year and pre-pandemic numbers. >> out of all of the holidays, thanksgiving is the one that most people travel. so that's why you're going to have the airports be the most crowded they are out of the whole year and also the roads. >> reporter: gas prices are more than 25 cents a gallon cheaper than this time last year and about half the country is paying $3 or less a gallon. aaa says domestic airfare will

cost you a bit more, though, compared to 2023, up about 3%. but that's not stopping people from flying. united airlines is planning for the busiest thanksgiving travel period it's ever seen. the nation's four largest carriers all expect more flyers than last year. >> why would you travel at thanksgiving? it's horrible. so we just beat it. >> you did not want to travel for thanksgiving. >> no, we wanted them to come to us. >> reporter: we met roscoe and judy nelson at the las vegas airport, squeezing in a preholiday trip to disneyland. their family will be driving to them this thanksgiving. >> we start planning about a year in advance. we have four kids. they're all married. we have a couple grandkids. and so we start negotiating trying to get the rights to the grandkids early. >> reporter: the airlines expect to start getting busy this friday. they're planning to fly some 31 million people during the holiday stretch. that's a new record. the busiest days to fly, the day before thanksgiving and the

sunday after. pretty similar story on the roads. but aaa says they've also seen a surge in people leaving on tuesday because often kids don't have school on wednesday. kris van cleave, cbs news, tucson. and after the thanksgiving travel comes the meal. and this year an award-winning photographer would like more americans to consider the origins of what's on their plate. cbs's brooks silva-braga introduce us to a man who's documented the people and places powering the global food chain. >> 360 at 11. >> reporter: for ten years george steinmetz, camera in tow, has been seeking out new perspectives on how humans feed ourselves. >> this is where i was this morning right here. >> reporter: but the challenge is many of those key moments like a sea of floating red cranberries ready for harvest here in wisconsin can be hard to find and last just a few hours each year. >> there are some more right

down there, some more marshes. >> i don't see any red. >> no. >> reporter: then suddenly -- >> there on the left. >> jackpot. >> yes, that's a good area right there. about 10:00. >> reporter: millions of cranberries bobbing to the surface. >> this is really good. >> reporter: but that's just step one for steinmetz. while planes cover the big distances needed for his scouting -- >> taking off. >> reporter: -- steinmetz prefers the steady hover of a high-end drone for his final photos. >> it looks kind of boring down here but you get up and it just opens up the landscape. big, big like carpets of red. it's really beautiful. >> reporter: by lingering above the scene steinmetz can wait for something special to happen. in this case a flock of birds passing just below. >> the birds. >> oh, that's so great. wow. that's such a fun accident, huh? >> yeah, you get these little serendipitous moments like that. >> cool. >> reporter: the product of his decade-long pursuit of those serendipitous moments is feed the planet, a photographic

journey to the world's food. >> most expensive food in the world is saffron. >> $1,200 a pound. but you've got to do a lot of these to get to a pound. >> take every little flower apart. they only flower like one week a year. >> reporter: what jumps off the page isn't just the beauty and scale of our food system -- >> growing lettuce in salinas. cabbage in the netherlands. >> reporter: but the difficult questions raised by even basic choices over what we eat and drink. >> you go to the starbucks and there's ethiopian, rwandan. it's like would you like to have it done by machine so it's all techno or do you want it really old school but is that unethical to be paying women $2 a day to do it by hand or in brazil they have a robot there scanning every bean with a laser and deciding which ones are good. these are complicated issues. >> reporter: steinmetz traveled to 36 countries and 27 states for the project. >> we've got the juice covered. >> and they're both the same density of birds on both sides? >> yeah. >> you must be rod. >> reporter: many farmers and

ranchers welcomed him. but not all. in 2013 steinmetz was arrested after taking these pictures of cows in kansas. some of the state laws banning photography of agriculture have recently been struck down as unconstitutional. but just this year kentucky made it illegal to photograph feed lots from the air. and being welcomed inside, that's even harder. >> i was never able to get into a slaughterhouse in the united states. and i was able to do that in brazil and china but i could never get in one in the u.s. >> that is kind of striking, you can get in in china but not here. >> yeah. >> reporter: what he found in brazil and china is the essence of his project. the immense scale needed to feed a growing global population that increasingly has the money and desire to eat more and more meat. >> how do you process 3,000 pigs in a day? and what do you do with the ears? and what do you do with the intestines? actually it's an amazing operation. and i mean that sincerely. but then you look at the pictures, most people are like oh, it's disgusting.

but i'm trying to be fair to the people there at the pig factory as well as to the consumer. >> would you be okay with me flying like a very small drone in here like at rooftop level? >> reporter: steinmetz has been using his camera to make people more aware of the wider world for almost half a century, a path that seemed unlikely as a kid from beverly hills. he went to stanford in the 1970s to study geophysics. but before he could graduate a nagging wanderlust drew steinmetz to africa. he traveled across the continent for a year. >> photography was very different then because it was film and so i couldn't see what i was doing. >> there must have been a photo you were most anxious to go home and see if it turned out. >> i had a lot of them and i remember i stayed up all night when i got home to look at the pictures and it was crushingly disappointing because you have all these incredible experiences. you see all these bad pictures. you know? and i just didn't know what i was doing. but i loved the process. >> reporter: the mix of that love and his newfound knowledge

of africa landed steinmetz some paying assignments, culminating in a gig at national geographic that came with a problem. >> i proposed a big story in the sahara and there were no planes or helicopters to hire. and so i had to bring my own kind of aircraft. >> reporter: what he came up with was a motorized paraglider. flying it opened up new horizons. >> you couldn't take this picture any other way. even if you had a chopper, it would scare the camels. >> reporter: for years the glider was steinmetz's meal ticket, yielding him photos no one else could get. then the drone arrived, democratizing aerial photography. and during this last decade even steinmetz has ditched the glider -- >> the nice way to this is to do this in the car. >> reporter: finding he could get better photos from the safety of a warm car. >> a little less sport in it, though. >> a lot less sport. to be honest, when you fly it with the paraglider you have

skin in the game and it is a lot more satisfying. >> reporter: the march of technology is also one of the main themes of feed the planet. the robotic milking machine at gary cregel's iowa dairy farm. just miles away real-time corn crop data in mason rymer's harvester. >> it's telling us the amount of bushels per acre. >> reporter: in the 1870s the gaynor cranberry farm used child labor for the harvest. now it needs hardly any labor at all. >> less than 2% of the population involved in farming, in providing our food. so it's like 2% is feeding everybody else. and you have people who are voting who are trying to control farmers and they don't know what the farmers are doing. you've got 98 back seat drivers trying to tell a farmer what to do and it doesn't work so well. >> reporter: but maybe, steinmetz hopes, illuminating how our food is made can help bridge that gap between those often hidden producers and our increasingly enormous appetites. brook silva-braga, clayton county, iowa. >> "cbs news round

a ♪ hello and thanks so much for staying up with us. i'm shanelle kaul in new york, and these are the top stories on "cbs news roundup." the white house gives ukraine the green light to use u.s. weapons to strike deep inside russia. the kremlin says that would put the u.s. at war with russia. more details about the allegations of sexual misconduct by president donald trump's pick to be attorney general. and there's a deadly outbreak of e. coli linked to fresh carrots. what can you do to stay safe? there are fears of a wider war in europe. president biden has cleared the

way for ukraine to launch long-range u.s. missiles into russia. it's a response to the kremlin enscripting up to 10,000 north korean troops for the battle against ukraine. the weapons, called army tactical missile systems, or atacms, can hit targets up to 200 miles away. the kremlin warned mr. biden is just adding fuel to the fire and one russian lawmaker says firing them over the border could lead to world war iii. cbs's holly williams is in ukraine with more. >> reporter: ukraine's been using american-supplied atacms against russian forces since last year. some of the missiles have a range of close to 200 miles. but before now the u.s. had refused the ukrainians permission to hit targets inside russia, concerned about an escalation in the conflict. colonel maksim balagura of ukraine's state border guard hinted last month about what the

ukrainians could attack with the powerful u.s. weapons. >> if the u.s. would allow you to use atacms to hit russia, what difference would that make? "if the russians don't have any ammunition or any planes, then manpower won't matter," he told us. in recent months russian forces have been gaining ground and targeting ukraine's cities with deadly glide bombs, soviet-era ammunition retrofitted with wings and gps. last month we witnessed the aftermath of a small glide bomb in this residential neighborhood. you can see the devastation that it's wreaked. it's literally ripped the front off the building. and now russia's military's been bolstered by more than 10,000 north korean soldiers. they may join an offensive to retake territory in kursk in southern russia, where ukraine launched an audacious incursion in august.

in september vladimir putin said that if the u.s. allowed ukraine to use atacms inside his country it would mean that america and russia are at war. some ukrainians fear that president-elect donald trump could try to pressure their government into negotiating with russia. if that happens, using the atacms now could give ukraine a better bargaining position. holly williams, cbs news, lviv, ukraine. closer to home now, president-elect donald trump's pick to be the nation's top law enforcement officer is facing new allegations of sexual misc misconduct. a lawyer for two women tells cbs news that matt gaetz paid them to have sex with him and that one of his clients says she witnessed gaetz having sex with a minor at a florida house party in 2017. gaetz resigned from congress last week after being picked by trump to serve as his attorney general.

a house ethics report on gaetz now remains bottled up in the committee. cbs's major garrett has more. >> reporter: in this gated community in orlando in july 2017 former congressman turned attorney general pick matt gaetz attended a party where his conduct has raised questions legal and ethical for years. >> the house wanted to know if he was taking precautions so there were no cell phones allowed. >> reporter: joel leopard represents a woman who says she went knowing she would be paid to have sex with guests. >> she arrived at party. she had sex with representative gaetz within minutes of her arrival. later on when she was walking out to the pool area she observed to her right representative gaetz having sex with her friend, who was 17 at the time. >> and on this question she's absolutely sure. >> she's absolutely certain that she observed sheeg her friend and representative gaetz having sex against what she described as a game table of some sort. >> reporter: leopard said she and another woman he represents

alleged they attended between 10 and 15 parties and were compensated for travel with gaetz to the bahamas and new york. he says the committee has gaetz's venmo and paypal transactions that allegedly show payments for sex and text messages where he refers to illegal drugs in code words. >> representative gaetz would use terms like can you make sure that there are party favors present or who's in charge of the party favors. >> reporter: gaetz has denied all wrongdoing. >> i have not had a relationship with a 17-year-old. >> reporter: under trump attorney general bill barr the department of justice launched an investigation into gaetz in 2019, but last year the biden justice department informed him it would not be bringing charges. >> congressman from florida, he's a great guy. >> reporter: trump is sticking by gaetz. some republican senators have called on the ethics committee to release the report on its investigation, while democrats have said they might seek testimony from witnesses. >> i gather they're frightened about having their identities revealed. >> absolutely. they've been through heck.

let me tell you. >> reporter: he says they want the ethics committee to release its findings. >> and the american people would know and they could decide if that's the person they want to be the next attorney general of the united states. >> reporter: an official with the trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment monday. one source familiar with gaetz's legal position questioned the credibility of the women and argued their recollections would not have withstood cross-examination in court had it come to that. major garrett, cbs news, new york. if you have fresh carrots in your refrigerator, you may want to toss them out. health officials are now investigating a case of deadly e. coli poisoning linked to organic carrots. more than three dozen people in 18 states have been sickened, and one has died. cbs's meg oliver has more. >> reporter: the organic carrots were sold at major retailers like whole foods, trader joe's and target. the cases are spread across 18 states, with the highest number in washington, minnesota and new

york. this outbreak comes less than a month after mcdonald's removed quarter pounders from the menu at some locations when fresh slivered onions were linked to e. coli contamination. a cbs news analysis found foodborne illnesses have increased 42% since 2013 in regions the cdc monitors. don schaffner is a professor of food science at rutgers university. >> how does e. coli get on our food? >> it may have happened with contamination in the field, or it may have been a problem in the distribution chain that further amplified the risk. >> reporter: grimmway farms issued a voluntary recall of the carrots on saturday, advising consumers to check their refrigerators and throw away any affected products. >> the best way to ensure that something is safe from pathogenic bacteria is by cooking. >> reporter: in a statement grimmway farms says customer health is among their highest priorities and they're conducting a review of their growing, harvest and processing

this is "cbs news roundup." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. lawyers for sean "diddy" combs have accused prosecutors of engaging in, quote, outrageous government conduct by using materials seized from his jail cell to try to keep him behind bars as he now awaits trial. prosecutors say the inspection was part of a jailwide safety-related sweep. on friday they accused the media mogul of repeatedly trying to contact his accusers and potential witnesses for the purpose of blackmail. combs has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, coercion and physical and sexual abuse, and now he's trying for a third time to be released. cbs's jericka duncan has more. ♪ happy birthday to daddy ♪

release of the new hulu documentary "the honorable shine," centered around a 1999 nightclub shooting. >> i had nothing to do with a shooting in this club. >> reporter: jamal barrow, a former rapper who went by shyne, and now running for prime minister of belize, was ultimately found guilty in that shooting, which led to a ten-year prison sentence. combs was acquitted. >> i was absolutely set up to be the fall guy. >> reporter: but combs has denied shyne's characterization and has denied any wrongdoing in his sex trafficking case. >> that was jericka duncan reporting. a closely watched trial over idaho's strict abortion ban resumes today. last week some of the women who brought the case testified how their serious pregnancy complications forced them out of state for medical care. cbs's nicole valdez explains the women are not seeking to overturn the ban but want medical exemptions added to the law. >> reporter: 32-year-old kayla

smith found out she was pregnant for a second time two years ago. >> i never thought i would need an abortion. it was the most traumatic experience that i had in my whole life. >> reporter: at 20 weeks she learned the son she was expecting had little to no chance of survival, diagnosed with several critical heart defects in the womb. in idaho nearly all abortions are against the law except after rape, incest or when it is necessary to prevent the death of the mother. >> the likelihood of me developing preeclampsia began was very high. i remember asking how sick do i have to be, right? and she couldn't give me an answer. >> reporter: so she drove over 500 miles from boise, idaho to a hospital in seattle, washington, taking out a loan to pay for the trip and the procedure. >> i had an induction of labor with the same medication that they would give for a medical abortion. >> reporter: now she and five other women are suing the state

of idaho. not to overturn the ban but to clarify and expand the exceptions. >> as a medical professional they're not coached to go and ask legal advice and whether they can intervene. >> reporter: one of the plaintiffs is dr. emily corrigan, an idaho ob-gyn whoo who admits she's felt forced to turn patients away. >> i am weighing my own personal freedom to stay out of prison against the needs of my patient. >> reporter: but the idaho attorney general's office has doubled down. >> unborn children have a fundamental right to life. how to best protect those lives through idaho's laws is a policy decision for the idaho legislature. >> reporter: we reached out to the attorney general's office, and it declined to comment on the case. we also reached out to several idaho state lawmakers, and none returned our requests. the trial is expectd to last at

spirit airlines, the nation's largest discount airline, has filed for bankruptcy protection. spirit has had at least two failed merger attempts in recent

years as it struggles to rebound from the covid-19 pandemic. as we now head into the busy holiday travel season, cbs's kris van cleave tells us what the bankruptcy filing really means for spirit customers. >> reporter: at spirit's fort lauderdale hub passengers remain optimistic despite the airline's bankruptcy filing. >> it's nice to have these low price airlines. >> we just hope they don't ge out of business. >> i never have any apprehension at all. >> reporter: known for fees for just about everything else now it's spirit airlines looking for a deal with its creditors. >> from a flyer's standpoint unless your flight is canceled it is business as usual. >> reporter: airline industry analyst henry hartevelt. >> perhaps they bought too many planes, expanded to too many routes. but also the market has changed. you know, spirit's customers now have more choices. >> reporter: while suffering through 2.5 billion in losses over the last four years, spirit has had to sell 23 airplanes,

furlough more than 150 pilots, while an engine issue grounded many of its newest planes and add a failed merger with jetblue. we talked with spirit chief commercial officer matt klein in june. >> brands have to change. products must evolve. and we were kind of stuck in a spot that didn't allow us to change the way we knew we should and that we knew we could. >> reporter: all this as the holiday rush begins with a record 31 million flyers expected by december 2nd. >> thanksgiving is the most popular travel holiday of all. >> reporter: spirit operates nearly 800 daily flights. the faa typically increases its oversight of airlines when they enter something like bankruptcy. the agency tells us it is continually monitoring spirit to ensure it has the resources necessary to continue operating safely. kris van cleave, cbs news, phoenix. another transportation news, sales of electric vehicles hit an all-time high this summer. but there is growing concern that a second trump administration could tap the

federal ev tax credit for buyers that could also hurt the auto industry. >> so for that to go away it is going to make it much harder for those legacy companies to continue to sell vehicles. >> reporter: but despite any short-term on tackles, many experts and drivers believe evs are the future. >> i think the electric vehicle market is here to stay. i don't think whatever trump does is going to affect it. >> reporter: for those looking to buy a new ev, mow may be the time. customers can save up to $15,000 to $20,000 with tax rebates and manufacturer incentives. ryan yamamoto, cbs news, los angeles. angeles.
